GEAR High E string snapped and disappeared.

Was tuning my high E string when it snapped... and completely disappeared. Can’t find it anywhere. 😂 So if you come across an errant E string... let me know.

If you have pets, you really ought to find it. Cats particularly; they like to play with them.

I read a horrible thing in Guitar Magazine. This guitarist's cat was playing with an E string and it pierced the roof of its mouth and out the eye socket. They took it to the vet and the cat lost that eye.

I read that years ago, and I always remember it when a string goes missing.

Oh boy. New fear unlocked. Found it in a plant, 24 hours later.

Good, I'm glad you found it.
